It was a teary morning on the Today Show set for Hoda Kotb when Jason Segel emotionally overwhelmed the daytime talk show host.

Segel was on the NBC show promoting the latest season of his Apple TV+ series Shrinking. As Kotb was wrapping up the interview, Segel said he would miss her on the show when she’s gone.

“And I’m going to miss you when you’re gone,” Segel told Kotb. “I just want you to know these interviews have been some of the best of my whole career so I’m really grateful to know you.”

Kotb was taken aback by Segel’s kind words and held her hand over her chest with a big smile on her face.

“Wow… thanks,” Kotb said as she cried.

Kotb tossed it over to co-host Savannah Guthrie, who was teasing an interview with Eddie Redmayne but said on-camera that there was “a big hug going on over there.”

The Today show shared the hug between Kotb and Segel following the interview on Instagram.

In a memo to staffers last month, Kotb announced she would leave the Today show in 2025.

“I’ve been weighing this decision for quite a while – Am I truly ready? But, my sixtieth birthday celebration on the Plaza felt like a shift. Like a massive, joyful YES, you are!” read the memo. “I saw it all so clearly: my broadcast career has been beyond meaningful, a new decade of my life lies ahead, and now my daughters and my mom need and deserve a bigger slice of my time pie.”
